  1. Need Help Graphtec Skipping Second Row of Registration Marks

    Flipping it 180 worked on the first try! Like you said, it only reads the four corners, but it still cut accurately. All this time I had never realized this can be done with Onyx. Thank you SO MUCH! Knowing this will save a lot of headache in the future, too.
  2. Need Help Graphtec Skipping Second Row of Registration Marks

    Has anyone encountered this? Video here: It reads the first two marks fine, then skips past the third and fourth and reads the rest. It tries to go past the final mark (I believe it thinks there is another row remaining since one row was skipped) and then I get an error telling me to move the...
  3. Tiny White Dots in My Solid Colors

    Do you think this has anything to do with the PVC shortage and shortage of cast vinyl in general? That's interesting timing
  4. Tiny White Dots in My Solid Colors

    My gut tells me that's what's going on.
  5. Tiny White Dots in My Solid Colors

    Hey all, not sure what you think this could be. I have white dots showing up in my solid colors. This image shows an area of the print that is about 6" x 6". We're using a Latex 310 for reference. Does this look like a bad printhead, or maybe plasticizer migration? I'm printing rich black on 3M...
  6. Looking for Thick Laminate Suggestions

    Requesting a sample roll right now. For 6 mil, textured, anti-slip, they have a great price. I can't wait to check it out. Do you have a vinyl that you normally pair this with for motorsport graphics? I'm hoping I can use 3M 40C with it or 3M IJ180CV3 for certain applications. I don't see...
  7. Looking for Thick Laminate Suggestions

    We currently use a lot of 3M 3645, which is 8 mil, and this stuff is extremely tough. It is pretty expensive. I'm also not a huge fan of the surface texture, which I can best describe as kind of pebbly. I'm looking for suggestions if anyone knows of a similar laminate, or even something...
  8. Where do you buy your vinyl?

    Good to know. Thanks! It's too bad that Reece doesn't carry Orafol, but they seem to have a decent selection otherwise.
  9. Where do you buy your vinyl?

    Oh, wow. I had no idea they did price matching... This is good to know. Checking out Glantz now. Thanks so much!
  10. Where do you buy your vinyl?

    Just wondering what avenues work best for everyone. We have a couple of local suppliers, but when they run out of stock, we have to go through Grimco or Fellers, and their prices can be a little insane depending on the product. Any alternative suppliers that you recommend?
  11. Gerber Alternative

    Hi all, we've been using Gerbermask Ultra Yellow as paint mask for a long time and loving it because it has really good chemical resistance, and we use it for extremely heavy duty paint and wood stain. We also prefer it over other paint masks because it's nice and pliable as opposed to some of...
  12. Suggestions Highest Possible Tack Transfer Tape

    That's interesting with the sandblast. I'll definitely keep that in mind. We've never used ABI products before that I'm aware of, but this is great to know. Thank you so much for all the helpful info, James!
  13. Suggestions Highest Possible Tack Transfer Tape

    Thanks for the suggestions! The 6798 looks promising. It looks like this stuff is used a lot with adhesive backed fabrics, so if it's used for that, I think there's a good chance it will work with Texwalk. I really appreciate it!
  14. Suggestions Highest Possible Tack Transfer Tape

    I'm wondering what people recommend for a high tack transfer tape. I'm trying to do lettering with Briteline Multigrip or Texwalk, but none of the transfer tape that we use for our other vinyl is sticking well to the texture of this material. Does anyone here have experience with a product that...
  15. Are there any RIPs that can do contour cuts across multiple panels?

    For large, contour cut logos that span 2 or more panels, I've been setting up separate cut lines and their overlaps in Illustrator. Are there any RIPs that can do this automatically? I'd like to be able to just have my logo and the one cut line, then send it to the RIP where I can set my overlap...
  16. HP Latex 310 Major Issues

    I apologize if this isn't the ideal forum for this topic. We are having major issues with our Latex 310. The left side of the heating element is not getting up to temp and our prints are coming out still wet on that side. It's also revving up and running VERY loudly and high-pitched, although...
  17. What Software Do You Use for Cut Only?

    Do you know off hand if FineCut 8 is compatible with Illustrator?
  18. What Software Do You Use for Cut Only?

    For single panel jobs, it works just fine. For multiple panels, it will feed a few extra feet of vinyl or a seemingly random amount before cutting for some reason. Not sure if that is an issue with CM4 per se, but we haven't had this issue with CM3.
  19. What Software Do You Use for Cut Only?

    We can definitely use PC as well, so that's not a dealbreaker. Have you divided jobs into multiple panels before using Flexi? If you have, would you say it's pretty quick/intuitive? I know that we can pre-panel jobs in Illustrator, but that would really slow us down. If Flexi can do it pretty...
  20. What Software Do You Use for Cut Only?

    I apologize if this isn't the best forum for this, as this question isn't about print to cut software. We cut a lot of unprinted vinyl, and we're currently using Cutting Master 3, and I'm wondering what other people use. We use Cutting Master 3 instead of Cutting Master 4 because it's so much...
